Frequently Asked Questions

Message to Union Gap Families and Community

Dear Union Gap Families and the Union Gap Community,

I am writing to share that, after much reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down as Superintendent of Union Gap School District at the conclusion of the 2024-2025 school year.

This decision is not one I made lightly. In fact, it’s been heart-wrenching, and I can honestly say that my years of service in the Union Gap community have been among the most rewarding of my 34-year career. It has been a true honor to work alongside our families, community members, and dedicated staff in service to Union Gap’s students.

Union Gap is a special place. Together, we have made significant strides in English Language Arts (ELA) growth and improved outcomes in reading, math, and English Language Learning (ELL). The state and national recognitions our district has earned reflect the strength of our shared commitment to educational equity and excellence for all students. Our community just passed a bond to support a new auxiliary gym and safety and security updates which will serve our community in many ways for years to come. There is much for our community to be excited about.

As I move forward to explore new career opportunities, my priority remains supporting a seamless transition to new leadership for our district. I am committed to working closely with the Board, staff, and families throughout this process to ensure Union Gap’s continued success. We will share more information on the search process as soon as we have them.

Thank you for the trust and support you have shown me, and for the privilege of serving this community for 16 years. I look forward to a meaningful and productive school year as we continue our important work together.

With sincere appreciation,

Lisa Gredvig
Superintendent
